How do you insert gifs?

I've seen many projects with gifs that have like, 100 frames. Is there a special way of importing gifs?
If so, how?

Thanks

Just drag (not import) the .gif file into Scratch.

Dragging or importing it into Scratch as a sprite will import the .gif as a sprite, with each frame as a separate costume.

Re: How do you insert gifs?

What you should try is making a new sprite (in edit mode) and make a dot.  Next, go to the costumes section of your new sprite and click "import" (not import new sprite, import new costume).  Next, select your .gif.  The frames should all be new costumes.  Delete the first "dot" costume and you're done!
